Directions: The following wiki pages serve as the reference point for our small group presentations / microteaching sessions of the focus chapters from HIcks' The Digital Writing Workshop text. Add notes, presentation materials, links and any other relevant information that might benefit the class and serve as resources for everyone during and/or after your session on the wiki page for your chapter. Be sure to review the guidelines and rubric provided for your presentation. Remember that you are to find a recent or current education journal article that relates to your chapter focus to inform your presentation as well. Please check in with Dr. Young at least a week prior to your presentation.

Scenario: Remember, the scenario you want to envision for this is that your principal has tapped you and your group / partner to present this chapter to your ELA faculty as a part of a larger professional development initiative. However, time is limited, so you will want to maximize your 25-30 minutes.
